Donteea Dye Waived
October 22nd, 2016
Off to Canada?
Well, that was quick.
Earlier this week, the Bucs re-signed misplaced Calgary Stampeder Donteea Dye to fill the void left in the wake of Vincent Jackson being placed on injured reserve.
However, it was announced that Dye would not suit up for the Bucs tomorrow at San Francisco as he was out of shape. Now, Dye is not just out of shape, but out of a job, again.
The Bucs waived him this afternoon. Freddie Martino was elevated to the 53-man roster.
Previously, Martino was entertaining fans in the trendy lounge of the Vero Beach Ramada Inn with classic tunes from Tom Jones, replete with a cognac glass near his organ for tips from generous patrons.

Lol, that’s hilarious . A smoke in one hand, tuxedo jacket on, belting ole blue eyes. Ladies and gents, Freddie Martino

Yup!!! 🙂

This WR situation keeps getting weirder, Most fans and media members saw this coming last off season.
October 22nd, 2016 at 6:48 pm
no excuse for not being in shape when you are out of work and looking for work. What a dumb arse.

Well, I gotta say one good things for our new Bucs..At least Koetter and Company are not hesitant to cut..dead nonproductive weight. Good for him. Yes Mike Johnson is applauding Koetters decision! Next man up!

Does the Glazers pay for all these signing and waiving these players nonstop
I was half joking wheh i call koetter “the clown”, yikes, maybe i shouldn’t…1 buc place is a circus!

I kind of suspected he would not last long. Truthfully, I don’t think Freddie will either.
October 22nd, 2016 at 7:48 pm
and still the unpolished bohringer is sitting on the vikings practice squad.
why not give the guy a shot?
at least we could see how far he is and how quick he learns.

Jason Licht is inept. Why even sign him in the first place? Why did you get rid of Butler?
October 22nd, 2016 at 8:23 pm
Where can I get a Freddie Martino jersey?
October 22nd, 2016 at 8:51 pm
And Jeremy Butler is getting ready to start for the Jets.
October 22nd, 2016 at 8:52 pm
I think your good cause dd and freddie are alternating the same number and actually the exact same uniform, helmet and jockstrap.
With all these injuries i believe jason gump is going to pump up the team tommorrow with a surprise…dont be surprised we bring our own sidecar bob, kenny bell running out of the tunnel
Americas kenny bell

The guy has been nursing his hammy this whole time and wasnt ready for a game.. had to waive someone to get another WR on the active. You people are relentless. Wow.

Everybody needs to chill out DD will be back next week. Freddy is just the temporary option then he will go back to the practice squad. Lazy reporting Joe it’s all over twitter that’s the plan.

Exactly why even sign him without having a workout. Starting to put 2 and 2 together for this organization for poor unhealthy signings.
October 22nd, 2016 at 9:52 pm
Give me a break.. not nearly as bad at the Packers RB situation… get over it.

It really is too bad about Donteea Dye being out of shape. He brings real speed to the table, something Tampa has not had in quite awhile.
October 22nd, 2016 at 10:26 pm
You’re a sick man Joe.
October 22nd, 2016 at 10:48 pm
I am not going to Completely agree with ’87. But carry on Joe.
October 23rd, 2016 at 8:41 am
“…DD will be back next week..” I read that too, and I don’t get it.
“out of shape” = doesn’t love football. Isn’t that one of Licht’s criteria for picking players? If he loves football, how does a WR get “out of shape”? And don’t give me that ‘not in “Football Shape” crap. He is not a running back taking a pounding, he is a WR who just has to run fast (which he does) and catch the ball (which he doesn’t)

From hero to zero

Bohringer isn’t on an active roster for a reason. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if we sign him that means he’d have to take a spot on our 53 man roster right? Just because his background is intriguing or you saw a couple YouTube videos doesn’t mean he can help us.
October 23rd, 2016 at 9:57 am
Lmao

Bohringer has almost identical mesurables to Vincent Jackson as a roolie when he came out. I would certainly try him over Martino. He not only has VJ’s size he has the speed we are looking for. I had thought we were going after him in the 6th when the Vikes snabbed him but I think if we were we certainly would of brought him in by now. He will be a star at some point.Who better to mentor him than VJax?

It is moves like this that the Bucs make; that the good franchises do not, and you realize we are never going to turn this around. You can’t win a 18 round fight without a plan.

Ha!
